Chablis 1er Tonnerre, 2024

Chablis with some weight to it - still salty and shell-like, but broad enough for someone who usually finds Chablis too thin.

Sebastien Christophe started with less than a hectare of family vines in 1999 and now farms some of the best slopes in Chablis. This one comes from west-facing vines on clay-rich limestone, looking across at Grand Cru Blanchot. Salty and shell-like at heart, with lemon peel and ripe white orchard fruit, and more breadth than most Chablis. From a tiny, hard-won 2024 crop.
